I think many wel-cultivated wines aren't necessarily labeled as organic - if you look into the labeling more. A lot of European wines from what I've heard are basically organic but may not carry the label

High quality producers typically don’t bother getting those certs even tho their wine is organic/biodynamic. For example, one California producer I frequent has a completely biodynamic farm but their neighbors use pesticides so if the wind blows the wrong direction during a spray, it can be detected on some crops, which the organic police will doc them for.
Price range?

Look for wines from specific importers that lean organic. Dressner, MFW, Weygandt.
Also, any wine with a demeter certification.
Gut Oggau, fantastic selection of biodynamic wines. The family story is amazing and they name different wines after family and friends. Really a pillar of organic/biodynamic wine industry in Europe !!! While from Burgenland in Austria, you can find them online in the US.
Natty wine recs:
Broc, Craven, Christophe Mignon, Dormilona, Grape Republic, Kindeli, Koppitsch, Maloof, Meinklang, Partida Creus, Testalonga
Are you coming at it from a health or sustainability perspective? Or other? Organic and biodynamic mean pretty different things and like Associate said, lots of quality places will go uncertified so they can follow the best combination of practices for their site.
